Abstract: A system for generating an advanced surround view for a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras to generate image data. Sensors are configured to determine kinematic data of the vehicle. Kinematic data are also obtained by a visual odometry module and/or a deep-vision mechanism. A processor is configured to process image data captured by the plurality of cameras to generate a 360-degree surround view layer representative of a surrounding area. The processor is further configured to construct an improved bicycle kinematic model for processing kinematic data to generate an under-chassis layer representative of an area under the vehicle. The processor is further configured to generate a 3D vehicle model layer and overlay objects layer. Display screens display a GUI of combined scene of the 360-degree surround view layer, under-chassis layer, 3D vehicle model layer and overlay objects layer as would be viewed from a virtual camera viewpoint.

Abstract: Maneuver assisting system and method are provided. The system includes at least one processor configured to process operations of the system; one or more memories for storing instructions; a communication unit for communicating between components of the system, and between the system and the vehicle and/or a user equipment; a Surrounding View Monitoring (SVM) unit comprising a plurality of sensors for providing a plurality of vehicle-related information; a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) configured for a driver of the vehicle to interact with the system; a display unit configured to display the HMI; a motion planning unit configured to generate a trajectory for the vehicle to follow; and a motion control unit configured to control the automated maneuvers of the vehicle. In particular, the HMI is configured to be implemented in the user equipment in order for the driver to remotely operate the system using the user equipment.

Abstract: Severely contaminated white mineral oils which fail the RCS specification are treated using an acid-treated bentonite clay, such as TONSIL CO 630G. The white oil products produced in the treatment may be a USP grade white oil.
